SynBERC

The Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC) is a multi-institution research effort to lay the foundation for the emerging field of synthetic biology. SynBERC’s vision is to catalyze biology as an engineering discipline by developing the foundational understanding and technologies to allow researchers to design and build standardized, integrated biological systems to accomplish many particular tasks.

Wyss Institute at Harvard

Wyss institute researchers use genetic engineering and nanotechnology to engineer molecules that self-assemble into desired shapes with programmable functions to create biological regulatory circuits for cell reprogramming, and to engineer living cellular devices.
